Akrone announces a revolution for its 10th anniversary:

Akrone annonce une révolution pour ses 10 ans :

New collections and major improvements coming soon!

The news did not go unnoticed by members of the Facebook group "Klubakrone" (video dated February 14, 2024): Akrone, on the occasion of its tenth anniversary in 2025, is preparing a complete metamorphosis of its collections, marked by major innovations in both aesthetic and technical terms. The iconic C collections will be at the heart of this revolution.

A strong comeback: Swiss movements are making a big comeback among the Akrone collections!

Among the most notable changes, Akrone has decided to return to Swiss movements, responding to a recurring request from its customers since the discontinuation of the K collections. This decision marks a new era for the C series watches.

But the surprises don't stop there. Other new items will be added to the C collections, demonstrating Akrone's commitment to innovation.

France Ebauches: French commitment at the heart of our movements!

Akrone also maintains its commitment to the French watchmaking industry by offering the movement from the France Ebauches manufacture within its C-02 Héritage range, thus providing a credible alternative to Swiss and Japanese movements with a movement truly made in France and premium finishes (blued screws, Côtes de Genève, snailing, and a personalized rhodium-plated mass in rose gold), an exclusivity that only Akrone currently offers.

Akrone: Betting on Sustainability for its New Collections!

For these new collections, Akrone is focusing on sustainable materials, mostly sourced from recycling channels such as titanium, 316L steel, ceramic, carbon... The use of recycled materials does not mean lower quality or lower raw material costs, quite the contrary! Finally, the collections are designed for simplified maintenance, thus guaranteeing excellent durability over time. This is a commitment whose objective is to reduce the carbon footprint of each collection, a major challenge for the coming decades! If we're going to treat ourselves, we might as well limit our impact!

Akrone Expansion: The Workshop is Expanding for Excellent Customer Service!

At the same time, Akrone is expanding its capabilities by expanding its Nantes workshop to better meet the assembly, quality control, support, and maintenance needs of its watches. With 10 years of experience, it is essential to be able to support Akrone watches requiring a makeover or a simple overhaul! This is a strong commitment to ensuring the durability of our watches and the satisfaction of our customers!

Akrone Technical Innovation: Meeting the Expectations of Professionals and Individuals!

Akrone also aims to harmonize the technical bases between watches developed for special or military projects and collections offered to individuals, thus offering all its customers the technical advantages of real diving or aviation watches, for example, meeting ever more demanding specifications.

Quality at the Best Price: Our Commitment to All Our Collections!

Despite these major advances, Akrone is committed to maintaining competitive prices, offering the best value for money to its loyal customers. This is why we don't offer sales. As long as the price is fair and justified, why have sales?

The new C-01, C-02, C-03, and C-04 collections will be available for preview at the end of 2024 and throughout 2025, with competitive prices at less than 800 euros. Watch enthusiasts can therefore expect to discover these first new products from the end of 2024 and throughout 2025!
